But I wonder if it’s too Christ-packed even for country radio. There’s a lot of Jesus in there. I bought Dolly’s latest album over the weekend and was seriously bummed out by it at first. A lot of her songwriting seemed derivative of past efforts. But I was driving through a snowstorm at the time, so maybe my mood wasn’t so good. Subsequent listens have gone better, although I agree with other posts that it’s wildly inconsistent, which has always been an issue with Dolly’s more pop-flavored albums.

I felt a little let down after listening to it the first time, but now I love it. “Jesus & Gravity” is supposed to be her highest debuting single since “Romeo” back in 1993. “Better Get to The Liv’n” spent over 16 weeks on the country charts, despite a low peaking position. This is a stronger effort from her than “Those Were The Days”.

Songs on this album are well written and Dolly’s voice is strong than ever!!!! I’m not a huge fan of the song “Only Dreamin'” but its okay. I love her covers of “Drives Me Crazy” and “The Tracks of My Tears.”

Dolly Parton is truly the Queen of Country Music!

I’m still working out how I feel about the album because I haven’t gotten used to the production yet. It’s growing on me.

I’m going to review the album sometime soon, maybe this weekend. I’m still getting used to hearing Dolly’s voice outside of the mountain/bluegrass/roots thing she’s been doing for the past few years. Her voice is very much that of a 60 year old woman, and it’s weird to hear her in sonic settings where you expect her to sound like she did on “9 to 5.”
